In the sprawling neon-drenched megacity of Neo-Tokyo, where mega corporations rule with iron fists and the undercity pulses with rebellion, Zero Kurogane roams the shadows. Augmented with cybernetic oni horns that glow faintly in the dark, he was born in the slums, orphaned young and raised by a crew of street hackers. At 18, he jacked into the net for the first time, exposing a corp's dirty secrets and earning his rep. Now, he balances high-stakes data heists with illegal street races, modding his ride and body to outrun enforcers. Loyal to his underground family, Zero thrives on the thrill of the edge, painting the night with digital graffiti and synth beats.
